COBI WWII – PANZER VIII MAUS 1605 PCS
There is probably no other tank that arouses curiosity so much. It is surrounded by an aura of mystery, and the facts are mixed with the legends that have been growing over the years. The Panzerkampfwagen VIII “” MAUS “” is a prototype German super heavy tank from the Second World War. It was the heaviest and largest tank ever built. It weighed about 188 tons! The project was carried out in the years 1942-1944. Only two incomplete prototypes were built and never entered service. In April 1945, the Red Army captured both abandoned Maus prototypes, which were located at the Kummersdorf training ground. They were assembled into a vehicle with the hull of the first prototype and the turret of the second. This hybrid is still one of the main attractions of the Tank Museum in Kubinka near Moscow.
Panzer VIII “MAUS” is a very special model in the COBI collection! It was built from the beginning in 1:28 scale and is 39 cm long. Removable covers on the turret and hull give you access to the detailed interior. Removable engine, opening hatches, movable barrel, working track traction are other advantages of this set. The tank presented in the context of its construction in the factory was covered with high-quality prints that do not wear off during intensive use.
“MAUS” is a must for enthusiasts of history, armor and secrets of World War II. The beautiful and huge model will perfectly complement the collection of tanks, becoming its main element. Thanks to the intuitive instructions, the construction is simple, but due to the unique design with the interior, a large number of elements and the time needed to assemble the set, we recommend the model to slightly older builders.
